Janis Joplin - Little Girl Blue (This is Tom Jones, 1969)

[paulypaulification]

Who was sent down to testify to the drunks,drug adicts,and lost souls? Not all of us decide what happens to us.

[Lyrero]

This is art. This is feeling.

[Yakovlievich]

Say hi to Janis for us, Etta.

[awaflo1]

[MrFangole]

How much our world would of been if this angel's light could of shined on us alot longer.

She is one of those legends that makes you say "Damn. I wish you were still with us."

[Pighunter1956]

She is TRULY missed

[joselothomassiny]

Despues de más de treinta años ...me hace ..llorar !!!

[birdmandc19]

Like a tattoo you can never get rid of ,but glad to ever have

[Dani8132m]

Words aren't enough to describe Janis...beautiful, gorgeous, talented..doesnt cut it...she was something else entirely. Other worldly. Such an immense energy

[joekunzler]

Janis - WOW I love her, I love the blues and I love Lynryrd Skynyrd

[greg1lewin]

Magnificent! Sublime! Such a pure, emotional vocal performance. And to think that she found this great, old Rodgers and Hart song from the 30's and related to it and knew she could interpret it and cover it in her own inimitable way. Still appalls me that she was not the first women inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. A travesty. There is another beautiful version of this song, done in a different vein, by Nina Simone available on youtube as well.

[Catsassole]

My favourite Joplin song!

[proline473]

What an amazing talent, and what a shitty disease!

[magicoboninba]

Chet e Janis..

[flopistols]

omg...her voice gives me goosebumps...absolutely incredible

[imangavran]

the best voice.

[sadieamberson]

Ti amo Janis

[theCluevi]

Sit there, go on, go on Count your fingers. I know what else, what else Honey have you got to do. And I know how you feel, And I know you ain't got no reason to go on I know you feel that you must be through. Go on and sit right back down, I want you to count, count your fingers, My unhappy, my unlucky But my little, little girl blue. I know you're unhappy, Ooooh, honey I know, Baby I know just how you feel.

[eswis68]

amazing

[mbgenetics]

Great artist. Among the masters indeed. She is in heaven singing for Mozart and Beethoven, both in awe of her. She "gives" herself completely to the song, very moving.

[magnusdering]

best ever

[proline473]

Ah man, what a fantastic performance!

[Khorakhane0]

Oh, my God.

[ps9557]

Wunder schöner Song  ich Liebe sie

[marko19301]

Là voilà elle assure , il était tant .... Là j'ai les poils droits sur les bras ! Surement que ce que j'ai écouté avant ben ..... Elle était raide quoi !

[paulypaulification]

49 dislikes? What the hell? There is no doubt Janis was an angel sent down here!

[mbgenetics]

Thanks for the upload. Very moving performance from a true great artist.

[phosphore222]

Magnificent.

[Solreyz]

Thank you for loading, wonderfull

[monoveloso]

I love her so much

[montgomery1139]

I remember watching this as a teenager on Tom Jones - Janis was + remains electrifying - not

many can make the hair on the back of my neck standup + make me cry -Janis, honey, you could do it every time I heard you -WOW!!!

[kev24444872]

i followed a rainbow hoping to find a pot of gold and instead found this beautiful song , i finally realised what is precious. love you janis thankyou so much for making me laugh, cry and most of all thankyou for making me realise there is love in music xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Darianka7565]

Forever in our hearts.. your music and your voice...you, Janis Joplin!

[yobart51]

I was lucky to see her back in the day, and still pass her music on to my grand kids,gone but not forgotin

[alexhepburn]

AMAZING WOMAN!!!! IF YOU GUYS LIKE JANIS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT ALEX HEPBURN XXXXXXXXX

[anmacable]

i was born and i'm living in a world where Janis unfortunately doesn't exist.My dad who lived the 60s-70s was a true fan of hers!Her music was playing in our old car since i can remember myself!If my dad wasn't in love with her music i wouldn't knew the existance of this legendary person and this magnificent voice!!

....Thank you dad from my heart!!!

[NoRosesForMe]

J♥nis is not of this world. Shes some kind of wild flower who keeps trailing thru our little gardens in life ....especially when we need her. When we need to weed out e hurt and feel sunshine. .....im waxing bad poetics but,,,tis true tis true hehe! LOVE YA GIRL! xx

[gabicham40]

"Seat Right and count your fingers". " siéntate derecha y cuenta tus dedos" es la máxima expresión de esta canción. Conservar la dignidad y estar conscientes de que los dedos de una mano sobran para contar a aquellos que estarán con nosotros siempre. Conmovedora ¡¡¡

[grandtorro]

stupid junkkie women waste of her life and talent

[MagnoliaLoon]

@grandtorro Until you walk in the shoes of a person afflicted with addiction, or watch that person disappear in front of your eyes with all the talent the world knows, how can you can you call such a life "a waste of life and talent" ? Her unparalled musical heart and soul live on - and always will.

[Breniznit]

@grandtorro she is dead, give her a break.

[NoRosesForMe]

@grandtorro stupid deaf blind moronic waste of space jack-ass grandtorro!!

[NoRosesForMe]

@grandtorro by the way,,,I meant YOU! Janis is the Queen. 

[nadir4176]

pqp fodissima the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttttt

[ger221054]

[vatti902]

she was 1 of millions. Wherever she is now, i hope she,s at peace.

[maritxa15]

quiero una blusa como esa! :C

[independentmusician1]

Janis is better on a Karaoke version of her own song than anyone else could ever be!

[regiroque]

Simplesmente a melhor,viva Joplin

[LoKDePs]

Deusa! Muito Muito Muito e Mito... Inspiração para mim, e para muitos, Um amor profano é o que sinto pela voz de janis, intenso e alto, giro pelos seu vocal, e respiro seus estonteantes e lindos solos, com muito amor, representando não só o brasil como o mundo inteiro. Amamos você Janis!

[rodentcafeteria]

By the time she gets to that last verse, I simply can't take it anymore. I'm in tears!!

[MrBoszdekler]

@rodentcafeteria it's the face between the singing..

[TheLeverge]

emotion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dmpopy1]

She's going right to my soul...

[ALfaDuB101]

[MrMarcioontherock]

MARAVILHA ABSOLUTA,

[thefreedomlass]

You will always be loved...Your God-Given Voice echoes through us still. Your free-spirited blues can never die.

[LaLora95]

An outstanding cover of Nina Simone by the gorgeous Janis Joplin

[Daveparts]

@LaLora95 WTF? did you read the date 1969?

[LaLora95]

@Daveparts of course I did. and i also know that this song was in the first Nina Simone's album-> 1958

[aguia2010ana]

Te amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jenn00711]

i love her so much and I listen to her so much that even my 4 year old little girl tells me she "misses our Janis" :)

[michellyscanzi]

Beautiful.. perfect... HER! <3

[elperritopiloto]

THE ONE.

[traslomita]

[rachelfishfry13]

If anyone understood, it was Janis. <3

[ricardooli100]

Ha melhor de todas as cantoras que o mundo já teve!

[13sancheez]

dzalian magariaa

[Memale2009]

Elle ne vivait qu'une année de plus - she died a year later (1970).

[Memale2009]

And I know you ain't got no reason to go on

And I know you feel that you must be through.

Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,

I want you to count, oh count your fingers,

Ah my unhappy, my unlucky

And my little, oh, girl blue.

I know you're unhappy,

Ooh ah, honey I know,

Baby I know just how you feel.

[Memale2009]

Quelle intensité... Oui, elle a vraiment ressenti ce qu'elle chantait - avec tout son body and soul; d'autant plus j'aime Janis Joplin pour avoir vécu d'une manière conséquente jusqu'à la mort: elle VIVAIT ce qu'elle chantait, elle se réinventait dans ses titres, elle était AUTHENTIQUE et vrai, elle est morte avec la main sur son coeur - et elle peut en être fière!!!! Je l'adore!!! Janis forever!

[Eduardoham]

@Memale2009 Couldn't understand a thing you said. Still agree with ya'

[purpliciousdiva]

THANK YOU for posting this :)

[NicoleFrcsca]

I Love you Janiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis !

[MyJulianak]

maravilohosaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[phyllis16]

There was nobody better than Janis. Goosebumps.

[Mastercylinder32]

I wonder why there hasn't been anyone to match her emotional intensity in the music business since her passing. what a rare talent she was. 

[elperritopiloto]

S U P E R B J A N I S ! ! !

[heratus007]

I love you

[BacinoFrancese]

I think the guitar player is very in phase (takt) with her. Was this James GURLEY . . . Sam ANDREW. . . ? ? ?

[vincents777]

here voice send shivers down my spine,

[CzarThePlezer]

She was more spiritual than human man; epitome of passion and love.

[laqtor]

@CzarThePlezer She was an alcoholic who could really wale.

[CzarThePlezer]

@laqtor that to

[vatti902]

wow, what a voice. Rip JJ.

[gazoswoodrat]

Damn she was good, so beautiful, so special .... Sweet Janis......

[rodentcafeteria]

I've watched this a thousand times, but I just like coming back to read the comments to read how many people realize and appreciate just what an extraordinary performance this was.

[vidqn]

@rodentcafeteria

Yes to everything!

[mrkeys1111]

@rodentcafeteria That is exactly what I'm doing. I've never read this deep into comments but enjoy seeing others appreciate how much of a gift she is.

[twiklight]

I dedicated this song to the legendary Ms. Amy Winehouse!!!! RIP Girl

[prhotty70]

although i was born in 1970....janus u were the best. wish you were still here....

[stat3vil3]

R.I.P..Janis, i-mi topeste sufletul aceasta melodie...au trecut multi ani de cand ai plecat

[rachelfishfry13]

I just wish she would have sat right back down in that hotel room and counted her fingers.

RIP Janis Joplin

October 4, 1970.

[rachelfishfry13]

I just wish she would have sat right back down in that hotel room and counted her fingers.

RIP Janis Joplin

October 4, 1970.

[TheWezz69]

Don't know why, but I actually cried listening to this ;-?

[CosmicXizor]

@TheWezz69 Me too...

[TheWezz69]

@CosmicXizor It's amazing what an infectious voice can make you feel, isn't it..Cosmic?

[waginglove]

How many people in our lives are like Janis? Overlooked by everyone around them, dismissed, but inside a heart overflowing with passion. Next time you start to walk past an apparently boring, uninteresting person, remember Janice.

[TinyChinee]

still makes my cry to know the world lost such a beautiful soul... ='(

[bluesjoe147]

sends me shivers down my spine

[ozocan]

I'm making master degree on economics. I managed to understand the economy, capitalism, socialism and everything.

But when it comes to people who dislike this kind of masterpieces, my brain stops working!

If god promises me an extra 10 years, I will dedicate it on researching those mentals!

[hosersupreme]

44 people are soulless monsters.

[FlameFirestarter]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[PanamaRedBuds]

She was sooooooooo good, people around her backstabbed her to death. An angel left us October 4, 1970

[gabicham40]

Muy buen la taduccion ¡¡ Excelente ¡¡ la mas dulce cancion de Janis ¡¡

[MBVPKR]

she died because she was against the fucking system, like john lennon, and others

[Kirkunik1]

Sing your heart our Janis.  Thank you for leaving us this awesome legacy and music. You are the song.

[cebolinha25]

Thank you for sharing this :)

[TheTautologie]

the only reason to dislike this video is Tom Jones xD

[Moosebassist]

Absolutely amazing

[chichillguy]

she had what garland had an ability to absolutely envelop you and make you realize true emotion with intensity of voice and body

[oldvalija]

la musa q ha jodido mi cerebro por años aqui c ve hemosa y q voz

[elperritopiloto]

WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW­WWWWWW!!!

[Crose9680]

Sad that this beautiful soul and voice had to leave us way too soon. Very few voices can stop me in my tracks to where I have to catch my breath and this is one of them....The beauty of this woman will never die within our souls...

[NachtmahrDelivery]

I don't see a reason for the "dislike" button to EXIST, especially for this. people should just watch what they like, not what the don't like Oo

awesome song

[MrPetethebluesman]

now that's some talent

[calamresca78]

Divina, Hermosa.



[petergabriel99]

oh..the best singer...Janis.

[pepermint26]

who dared to dislike this masterpiece?

[lurchthing]

WOW

[gatitame2azul]

A Pearl, a gem ... for Pearls Under My Bed

[MegaSportsfanatic]

Brings tears to my eyes. She was simply MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSenderak]

I wish be born in 1955 in USA! <3

[peacenikkie]

Thank you, thank you!! Not only is Janis wonderful but Tom...Oh my heart!! This is a keeper!! ~0;-D

[Revolution1117]

Likewise...I've never seen this particular performance. Absolutely FANTASTIC! Thanks for the treat!

[CatarinaO]

Wow! I've been a huge fan of Janis for 40+ years and I've never seen this performance before. Thank you so much for posting it.

[rashellybelly85]

i love her janis rocks

[rxfloyd1]

damn, she wailed that one right into my heart!!! one of the best perfomances i've ever seen her give!

[TheNormanvsNorman]

Just .. Beautiful!

[bsdml]

I agree with the other (sane) comments here: This is vintage Janis. She shows on this clip, once and for all, that she IS the real deal (and I say this as someone who's traditionally never been a huge fan of hers)! Outstanding performance from beginning to end.

[odie7]

this has to be her best performance ever in my book!

[caringnr]

como eu amo... lindona

[scatmando]

Simply awesome, she would not get to boot camp though..... lol. Shows you what a fake plastic shitey world we live in. God bless you Miss Joplin. No fanny or tits hanging out, just a damn fine voice............ a real singer !!!!!

[peweter2]

WOW! ... amazing...



[hawkman69]

@peweter2 i said the same thing!WOW!

[nuevaordenmundial]

Janis ,esta canción me toma de la mano cuando ando blue , tu voz me arropa y se que puedo seguir adelante.

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

Heartstopping.

[villiparis]

the kozmic blues band sound so boring, full tillt boogie were better.

[karen88]

Thanks for sharing! Awesome performance!

[jon2bec2]

I'm sorry but I don't get it. I love the blues. I play in a blues band. Her phrasing is not good. But is rather predictable and ultimately boring. She yells and hollers with a very harsh voice that and yet cannot get the soul into it. It just doesn't sound good and I cannot get into it. I'm sorry but she was not very good.

[stendeb]

@jon2bec2 I'm sorry to say but going of your comment, you know absolutley nothing about music, Janis Joplin sang from the soul, if you can't hear that in this video then maybe you should stick to listening to half baked pop music there is plenty of it around, unless you're just someone who likes to disagree to provoke a reaction in order to get some kind of personal kick?... either way you're just as sad..!! and I would be suprised to say the least if you actually did play in a blues band..!!

[rodentcafeteria]

@jon2bec2 You're right - you don't get it. Why are you talking about "blues"? This song has also been recorded by Chet Baker, Nina Simone and Karen Carpenter, to name a few and, to my knowledge, none of them were considered blues singers and this isn't considered a blues song. If anything, it's a jazz standard and this is Janis' interpretation - there is no right or wrong way to do it.

[jon2bec2]

@rodentcafeteria I don't do internet fighting. I just have my opinion is all. I play in a blues band my brother and I started up just recently. We've been practicing for about 6 months. We played the Kemper County blues show this year.  We opened for Bobby Rush. Check Mississippi Flush on youtube. You can see Bobby Rush walking across the front of the stage. 500 people in audience, all black, real blues, Mississippi style. Brother and I are white boys, but love the blues.

[rodentcafeteria]

@jon2bec2 No one is looking for a fight and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I have no idea why you keep talking about blues, but thanks for the bio.

[OtisIsMyCat]

@jon2bec2 Soul comes from inside your body; it's not tonal or melodic. It's a physical manifestation of something powerful we feel deep within us.

This is soul.

[nerblebun]

@OtisIsMyCat I've never heard it put into words like your comment. You have the best understanding of "soul" I've ever heard.

[OtisIsMyCat]

Thanks, @nerblebun. :)

[desastermaster2010]

@jon2bec2 r u deaf?

[TheHillbilly1955]

never heard this b 4 WOW

[BobTheBuilder378]

The artistry of this perfomrnace makes me feel like so much of what I worry about every day, and so much of what we strive for is just stupidity.

[smazzelable]

has got a black voice.

[9988776698]

awesome

[chiqkitin]

[ElnaCopper]
